Fred neurlass, Travels.

The New York cable gives the follow
ing impressions concerning some of the
countries he has visited:
Mr. Frederick Douglass has just re-
turned to London after nine months Of
travel on the Continent and in Egypt. He
will probably remain in England for
several months before returning home.
He said TO day that this was his third
visit to England. He came here forty-one
years ago as a slave. He left the United
States for safety, as there was then very
vigorous effort being made to enforce the
Fugitive Slave law and he feared capture.
While here money was procured to set
him free. 1T was here, said Mr. Doug
lass, that forty-one years ago | received
the bll of sale of my own body. My
owner agreed 90 let me 60 for $3.50. The
money was given by two sisters, Ellen
and Annaltichardson, living at Newcastle
on-Tyne They are still living. One is 79
and the other over 80 years old. Mr..
Douglass intends to visit these ladies in
few days.
During his travels Mr. Douglass has
visited the principal cities of France, Swift
zerland, Italy, Greece and EgyIt He
went to Egypt for the purpose of making
chronological studies, TO see il he could
not find some trace of the connection be-
tween the negro and the Egyptian races,
for the purpose of giving, If possible, a
better standing for his peoplein the eyes
of the world. Douglass said II was
disappointed in my researches in Egypt.
The inhabitants there have many of the
traits of the negro, his childishness, his
happy disposition, his lack of energy
and grave ambitions. But / must confess
that the evei3ences of relationship are
very meagre Egypt is a wonderful
country, the mother of everything we
know concerning so.called civilization. 1t
was there that Greece learned her first
lessons. | was lost in admiration during
my visit in Greece over the wonderful
development os that people at such an ear
ly period in the known history of the
world
What place visited by you interested
you the mosty"
Rome. There was more there to inn
press anyone from new country. That
city has probably had greater influence
upon civilization than any other. It's
stem of government its laws and its
colonization ideas are ut the basis of the
government of our most advanced nations
of to day. / was greatly surprised at
Italy. | had expected to find sloth and
retrogression. On the contrary, found
ev dences of the birth of a new nation.
Everywhere there is industry and reviving
energy. This new life has even reached
to Florence' the deadest city on the con-
tineDt | believe thai where the great
ness and prosperity of nation have pass d
on and beyond them they return again.
They are certaonly coming back to

woman,s Lot.

In general way it is quite in common
with mans, yet there are points where
each has seperate sphere. United, they
are mutually dependent; separated, they
each largely inderen ,ent. All men have
TO face the world and earn living, not
infrequently women find themselves oblig.
ed to do no less Men receive q special pre-
paration for such work; shall women be
treated with like considerations To
send anyone forth TO win bread, unquali.
fed, is cruel. A boy or girl hat is well
equipped to meet the future, wi look up
ou life more wisely, free from delusion
and false ideas, and will be in the best
possible condition to appropriate any good
luck that might happen along
When forced by circumstances into the
stern duties Of life, the keenest sufferers
among women are those who have grown
up in homes of luxury 1t is criminal
for parents to carefully provide for the
boys, and allow their daughters to grow
into maturity without laying foundation
on which they can build livelihood,
should circumstances demand IT, By
understanding the Possibilities Of the fu-
ture, a sense Of responsibility is cultivated
and Aisdom alone will dictate prepara-
ton. This prep ration gives gignity
and pois TO character that nothing else
can equal She must be conscious of
possessing an education that can be turned
into money if necessary. This feeling
PAGES her at great advantage in every
situation. When woman sees life from
the same standpoint az man. her LOT will
be immensely improved.

THE INFLUENCE or BABES.

Goody goody books have occasionally
examples of a child's reforming its de-
praved parents, and it was f. Anstey,
think, who wrote an essay on the bring
ing up of parents, but it is not often that
we meet examples of 'eThe Influence of
Babes in real life. / was talking with
the receiving teller of dime savings bank
the other day and he told me neat little
story quite out Of the ordinary Two
small boys came one day and took ont
book, putting In fifty cents each Every
Saturday night after that they came reg
ularly, with their fifty cents apiece, and
sometimes, after birthday or something
of that sort, apparently, with more.
When they had e9ch saved hundred
dollars they then told their father and
and proudly showed their bank books.
He was completely taken aback. for he, a
man with good income, had never saved
a cent. 1t opened his eyes, and s'befo1e l
knew it, almost, said the man at the
desk, 'she had 81 500 here What he did
with it, do not know, but / know he's q

So, you see, If these school banks are
encouraged, and the children take hold in
earnest, there IS no knowing what they
may do for Us some day We may be

A PORTLAND VESSEL LOST.
The Crew Rescued and Carried to
Boston.

The steamer d. ii. Miller of the Baltimore
and Norfolk Steamship Line, which arrived
in Boston Sunday night, had on board the
crew of shipwrecked vessel who were
picked up off the Delaware coast by the
steamer on its way to Boston. AT noon Sat
urday, March 18th, the schooner Albert II.
Waite of Portland was discovered aban-
doned by its crew. Capt. Frank Howes OF
the Miller sent the first officer, Mr.. Ryder,
with boats crew to board the vessel Over
eight feet Of water were found in her, and
she was evidently in danger OF sinking every
minute The vessel was loaded with coal.
Shortly afterwards boat was seen with five
men in it. The steamer ran down to them,
but pilot boat No. IA Of New York took
them on board. The men, who had been
out in the small, leaky, open boat all the
forenoon. with the thermometer down to
zero were so benumbed with cold that
they could hardly move. They were given
change of clothing and, were transferred to
the steamer which then proceeded on its
way to Boston. The seamen after they had
recovered reported that the schooner was
bound from Philadelphia to Newburyport.
They had been up all night and the day be-
fore trying to pump out the vessel, but Sat-
urday morning gave up in despair and took
to the only boat they had. The Waite was
owned by John Musgrave and others. She
was seen to sink by the people on the
steamer. Captain Nickerson, the mate.

most thought Of, while the two things
most needed are sunlight and pure air. ara
often times given secondary attention. and
double windows and doors and thick cur
tains do their best to destroy these.
The Doctor then turned his remarks to the
human body. Commencing with the head as
consisting of the Uranium and neck, he spoke
at some length of the nervous system and
individually of the nerve of the common
sensation, Of feeling, sight, hearing, taste
and smell. The neck, esophagus, the larynx,
the seat Of language, the spinal column and
various organs Of the bOdy.were infinitely
described. In speaking of the nervous sys-
tenn and brain the speaker said, there is no
such thing as mind reading except through
muscular action.
Dr. Foster here spoke very warmly of Mr.
G. III. Montague, stating that he gave the
finest demonstration of involuntary muscular
action he had ever seen. The formation Of
ideas, Of judgment, thought and will were
spoken Of Christian scientists accomplish

upon the patients mind. Generally these

and air. that is, a change Of Impression.

The meeting Of the Congregational Club

ing was the menu:
Oysters on shell.
Orange Fritters au Sauce.

After the supper an able and graceful pa
per was read by E. III. Elwell of the Tran
script on "The Puritan Sermons" The
preacher, sermon and congregation, and the
general influence of the preacher in society,
church and state were dwelt upon and many
illustrated anecdotes of fine flavor were CIV
en-, especially of Parson Smith and others of
local fame. 1t was studied essay of fine
thought and was the main feature of the eve
ming.
This essay was followed by discussion
in seven minute speeches by Rev. Dr. Fem,
Rev. Mr.. Wright, and Mr.. Horatio Staples,
that were all bright, pointed. and different
in thought and treatment, comparing the
days of our forefathers with our own times
in this matter.
